Thanks all for your help and insight. I just started seeing this Dr. and quit both my urologist and previous family Dr. He is open and pretty well knowledged in hormonal issues but his thoughts are to deal with one issue at a time and get a better feel for whats going on.
The one thing I really like about him is that he wants to look at why I am having these issues rather than just throw drugs at everything. Basically what is the root cause.
Per my studies on this site (thanks JanSz and Plymouth) I have a good idea of what protocal I need
Test + HcG + L-dex + Armour. I do appreciate everyones help and suggestions. I've often woundered if I were better off doing HcG rather than test. Who know but I do like the results since I changed from trans to IM. Major reduction with depression + better sex + harder rod + had more energy (need to regain that)
2 summations from all of you
In you opinion - Test-e 33mg E3D, L-dex .50cc day of shot + how much HcG? Also, can I cycle HcG rather than being on all the time? If so, dosages.
If I cant go the Hcg route the supplements you suggested, will I really benefit from these (IF YES, DOSAGE) or is it a waste of time let alone $. I would like my balls back, the pain gone.
Guys you rock and I appreciate you taking your time
In summary;
#1. I do not know your numbers, so far just words, feelings and general suggestions. Get good blood test, start personal diary thread, stay on that thread, post your results and discuse your case just there.
#2 Test Enathate 33mg E3D
33*7/3=77mg/week
looks like very small dose, glad that it is already working for you, without HCG your balls will stop production soon and you are going to be short on T.
Give me your SHBG and I will calculate decent starting dose for test.
The E3D schedule is very good system, stay with it.
If you are low on SHBG, and just to play safe, you can raise your T to 100mg/week.
If you are using density 200mg/mL and stay on E3D system
100/200/7*3=0.214cc/shot=21.5units on insuline syringe
Use smallest needle, 31ga and SubQ injections around navel.
I often have tiny leak back of oil, say 0.5 unit
use 22units per shot.
(If your SHBG is higher 140-150mg/week may not be unusual)
Remember this is preliminary dosing, get blood test to find out your actual condition.

#3 HCG
do not cycle HCG, stay on same schedule all time.
I use E3D schedule same as for T and use 500iu/shot
#4 Using T shots many people have E2 problem (even if they did not have that problem while on Androgel). Based on that assumption I am taking 0.5cc LiqiuDex with my T and HCG shots, that is Liquidex is also on E3D schedule. In few days I will report on how it works for me. I had blood drawn last week ago on Thursday.
#5 Armour Thyroid
From the other thread, watch
pulse (resting) not over 90
average temperature not over 37C=98.6
have a handy Cortef or at least Isocort, Isocort you can buy without script.
AFAIK, Cortef requires script
#6 Hard to say with out testing but it is prudent to address 2/16 ratio, use
2 pills DualAction
